Do not fear me... this is making a new beginning against the old problems in this broken world. I'm only destroying things that are having a difficult time surviving. Think of it as pruning a bush. Some branches are never going to survive and will only cause problems in the future. I am making those branches into something useful. You do want to be useful don't you. Take these gifts and help me make this world into a better place...

"Ah, i see, but can i supply you with any magical artifacts to help you in that endeavour?"

"Excuse me?"

"I am a salesman of great repute and it came to my notice that you are in the market for some magical products. I have a stone of focusing, a transmutation cloth, a toad out of the vale of the happy people, a ...."

"Enough! How did you get in?"

"There was nobody at the gate and it was open, so i simply walked in. But how about some magical goods, i really have a nice assortment and i can offer a good deal on various ..."

"You did say that, but the spell you are casting is flawed."

"What do you mean flawed?"

"It will incinerate the caster."

"It will incinerate the caster? How do you know this?"

"The other Sorcerer King tried and he failed."

"Other Sorcerer King? Where is he?"

"You know that recently erupted volcano?"

"Yes, what has that to do with another Sorcerer King?"

"His Laboratory was where there is now a magma lake. But to get back to the topic at hand: Your spell is flawed."

"And where do you see that supposed flaw?"

"Clearly that rune of containment is wrong."

The Sorcerer King turns around and carefully inspects the rune for any problems. "There is nothing wrong with the rune. He is perf.....". Looking down he notices the point of a sword sticking out of his chest just before collapsing.

"It is time for you to be transformed into 'magical energy'. Boys, throw him on the pyre and let him burn to ashes."
